Basket muzzle Trixie TRIXIE 17627 for dogs, size S/M, basket-style protective muzzle

Trixie TRIXIE 17627 basket muzzle for dogs in size S/M is a basket-style protective muzzle designed to provide a secure barrier while allowing basic canine behaviors. The construction allows panting and drinking and enables limited sniffing and offering of treats, while preventing biting and unwanted chewing. The muzzle is intended for training, veterinary visits, walks and use on public transport, offering a practical solution for medium-small and short-nosed breeds that require reliable control in public or clinical settings.

Advantages

The basket design balances safety and comfort by keeping the snout away from direct contact while maintaining airflow for panting. Lightweight polyester construction reduces bulk while remaining durable for regular use. Continuously adjustable forehead and neck straps with a snap-fit joint ensure a secure, adjustable fit and help keep the muzzle in place during activity. The open basket format permits treats to be given through the muzzle, supporting training and gradual behavioural work without removing the device.

Suitable for

• Training sessions where temporary bite prevention is required
• Veterinary examinations and grooming appointments
• Walks and travel on public transport where a muzzle is mandated
• Short-nosed (brachycephalic) small-to-medium breeds that need a basket muzzle

Key specifications

• Size: S/M suitable for medium-small dogs
• Material: polyester basket construction
• Design: open basket allowing panting and drinking
• Adjustments: continuously adjustable forehead strap and neck strap with snap-fit joint
• Functionality: permits giving treats through the muzzle

How to use

Place the basket over the dog’s snout and fasten the neck strap under the throat, then adjust the forehead strap to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure there is enough space for the dog to pant and drink; straps should be snug to prevent slipping but not so tight as to cause discomfort. Check the fit regularly during use and adjust straps if the muzzle shifts. Use the muzzle for the intended short-term situations such as examinations, walks, or training exercises, following local regulations where applicable.

Usage recommendations

Introduce the muzzle gradually with positive reinforcement: allow the dog to sniff the muzzle, reward calm behaviour, and practice brief fittings before full use. Regularly inspect the muzzle for wear and clean according to manufacturer guidance to maintain hygiene and function.
